Abstract: A towable agricultural implement having a center section and foldable wings mounted by hinges on opposite sides of the center section to fold upwardly or downwardly about substantially longitudinal hinge axes. Each hinge has a spaced ball joint and guide roller in roller slot. A wing float axis for each wing extends substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal hinge axis in a transverse direction, each wing also being pivotal about the float axis. The hinge design with the float axis prevents weight transfer between the center section and wing sections when the implement operates over uneven soil, providing uniform soil conditioning over the width of the implement. The center section rollers are positioned ahead of, behind, or co-linear with the wing rollers. Lockout kits are provided for mounting within the roller guide slots for restricting motion.

Abstract: A tillage disc assembly for use with a fully-integrated tillage implement including two modes of transportation: a working implement mode and a transportation mode, wherein the disc assembly includes an air spring and a thrust bearing for superior conformity to the field surface and protection of the disc itself. The shank can be adjusted to numerous angles for desired earth working performance. Each disc assembly is individually mounted to the frame.

Abstract: A fully-integrated tillage implement including two modes of transportation: a working implement mode and a transportation mode, wherein a transport wheel assembly can be hydraulically raised and lowered at will to transform the implement between the various positions. A hydraulic leveling bar affixed to the drawbar assembly serves to keep the entire implement level with the tractor while traversing a field or while towing the implement in transport mode.

Abstract: A tandem conditioning reel subsystem for use with a fully-integrated tillage implement including two modes of transportation: a working implement mode and a transportation mode, wherein the tandem conditioning reel subsystem includes trunnion bearing joint and a torsion axle arrangement which allows for superior coverage of the surface of a field.
